Second Chance

Shinedown · Somewhere In The Stratosphere [2011]

My eyes are open wide

By the way,

I made it through the day



I watch the world outside

By the way

I'm leaving out today



I just saw Haley's comet; she waved

Said "why you always running in place?"

Even the man in the moon disappeared

Somewhere in this stratosphere



Tell my mother, tell my father

I've done the best I can

To make them realize

This is my life

I hope they understand

I'm not angry

I'm just saying



Sometimes good bye is a second chance



Please don't cry one tear for me

I'm not afraid

Of what I have to say

This is my one and only voice

So listen close

It's only for today



I just saw Haley's comet, she waved

Said "why you always running in place?"

Even the man in the moon disappeared

Somewhere in this stratosphere



Tell my mother, tell my father

I've done the best I can

To make them realize

This is my life

I hope they understand

I'm not angry

I'm just saying



Sometimes good bye is a second chance



Here is my chance



This is my chance!



Tell my mother, tell my father

I've done the best I can

To make them realize

This is my life

I hope they understand

I'm not angry

I'm just saying



Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
